Actress Susan George...maybe?

Not from YouTube so I can't embed these. Jimmy Page on France's Tout le monde en parle, May 10th, 2003 - promoting the DVD and How the West Was Won. It's all in French...but some interesting comments made (sorry no time to translate). Note the Yardbirds tracks - none of which he played on...the whole thing is a little cheesy to say the least. Part 1: http://www.ina.fr/ardisson/tout-le-monde-en-parle/video/I08310548/jimmy-page-premiere-partie.fr.html Part 2: http://www.ina.fr/ardisson/tout-le-monde-en-parle/video/I08321778/jimmy-page-deuxieme-partie.fr.html Part 3: http://www.ina.fr/ardisson/tout-le-monde-en-parle/video/I08321779/interview-fromage-ou-dessert-de-jimmy-page.fr.html

Zeppelin Mysteries Hosted by Steve A. Jones
thozil replied to SteveAJones's topic in Led Zeppelin Master Forum
I've seen at least two references from the July 1968 timeframe where Jimmy mentions that dates are booked for an October American tour. No mention of Scandinavia though, but then this could be because the news sources were American and there was no interest in what was happening in Europe. This is at the point where Dreja is still in the band...and one article (Deseret News, July 1968) mentions that the band is to be called "The Yardbirds Featuring Jimmy Page"... Update: There is an article from NME July 13th that mentions a ten-day tour of Scandinavia starting Sept 14th followed by a "lengthy American tour in October". -
It seems that Tornado Evans is actually Jimmy "Tornado" Evans...still no idea about the Rook part...unless that was another (short-lived) pseudonym, or maybe the drums were borrowed from another band. Didn't Jimmy record with the Redcaps after he left the band (which could explain the date)?
-
Ok, so that's John "Jumbo" Spicer with the guitar. The drummer is "Tornado Evans" I believe, but who is Jimmy Rook?
-
...thanks, but are there any pictures of him with Zeppelin members?
-
Steve, I've recently read that Kenny Pickett of the Creation worked with Led Zep in the early days as a "road manager". Are there any photos of him with the band from that time?

The Prince of Peace and the Nazi?
thozil replied to The Priestess TCNA's topic in Led Zeppelin Newbies
There's probably some relation to the LZII motif, but I think Jimmy has an interest in the imagery of period (much like Chris Farlowe). Here's a photo from earlier time: -

Here are a few other pics from around the same time (Bonzo has the same shirt) - (A&M studios, April 1969, Los Angeles, CA ??) Photos by Chuck Boyd (there are six pages of his Zep photos here) -

Re Jimmy smoking, at the 44min mark of his 1977 interview with Dave Schulps of Trouser Press, Jimmy says "I only started smoking this year..." and he goes on to relate how it happened on a flight. -

Robert Plant - Pre-Zep History
thozil replied to Jimmy's A Legend's topic in Pre / Post-Zeppelin Forum
This is such a great thread - thanks to all the contributors (especially Blocoboy). It would be great if someone could track down some info on Robert's gigs with Alexis Korner. Also, I wonder if the admins might consider renaming this thread as "Robert Plant's pre-Zep History" (although there is also info on Bonham's bands as well) given the significance of all the great new info that's come to light. -
What The Famous Say About Led Zeppelin

Interesting thread...I wonder if the student newspaper at the University of Las Vegas would have had an ad or review for this show at the time? College level kids would've been the primary audience for Led Zep in those days when they were still considered underground. Here's a link to the library: http://www.library.unlv.edu/. ...just noticed that this has already been done...oh well, keep digging
